Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors of Delaware Life Insurance Company and Contract Owners of Keyport Variable Account I:

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of the sub-accounts listed in the Appendix that comprise Keyport Variable Account I (the Sub-Accounts), as of December 31, 2025, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Sub-Accounts as of December 31, 2025, the results of their operations for the year then ended, and the changes in their net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Sub-Accounts’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Sub-Accounts in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2025, by correspondence with the transfer agents of the underlying mutual funds; when replies were not received from the transfer agents, we performed other appropriate auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

KEYPORT VARIABLE ACCOUNT I

(A Separate Account of Delaware Life Insurance Company)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025

1. BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION

Keyport Variable Account I (the “Variable Account”) is a separate account of Delaware Life Insurance Company (the “Sponsor”) and was established as a funding vehicle to receive and invest premium payments under variable life insurance contracts (the “Contracts”) issued by the Sponsor. The Variable Account is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a unit investment trust existing in accordance with the regulations of the Delaware Insurance Department and is an investment company. Accordingly, the Variable Account follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, “Financial Services – Investment Companies”.

The assets of the Variable Account are divided into “Sub-Accounts”. Each Sub-Account is invested in shares of a specific mutual fund (collectively the “Funds”), or series thereof, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The contract owners of the Variable Account direct the deposits into the Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account.

Under applicable insurance law, the assets and liabilities of the Variable Account are clearly identified and distinguished from the Sponsor’s other assets and liabilities. Assets applicable to the Variable Account are not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business the Sponsor may conduct.

There were no Sub-Accounts held by the contract owners of the Variable Account that had name changes, closed, merged into another Sub-Account or commenced operations during the current year.

There were no Sub-Accounts held by the contract owners of the Variable Account with commencement dates earlier than the past five years, but for which the first activity occurred within the last five years.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Sponsor’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Investment Valuation and Transactions

Investments made in mutual funds are carried at fair value and are valued at their closing net asset value as determined by the respective mutual fund, which in turn value their investments at fair value, as of December 31, 2025. Transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are determined on the first in, first out basis. Dividend income and realized gain distributions are reinvested in additional fund shares and recognized on the ex-dividend date.

Units

The number of units credited is determined by dividing the dollar amount allocated to a Sub-Account by the unit value for that Sub-Account for the period during which the purchase payment was received. The unit value for each Sub-Account is established at $10.00 for the first period of that Sub-Account and is subsequently measured based on the performance of the investments and the contract charges selected by the contract holder, as discussed in Note 5.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Purchase Payments

Upon issuance of new contracts, the initial purchase payment is credited to the contract in the form of units. All subsequent purchase payments are applied using the unit values for the period during which the purchase payment is received.

Transfers

Transfers between Sub-Accounts requested by contract owners are recorded in the new Sub-Account upon receipt of the redemption proceeds at the net asset value at the time of receipt. In addition, transfers can be made between the Sub-Accounts and the “Fixed Account”. The Fixed Account is part of the general account of the Sponsor in which purchase payments or contract values may be allocated or transferred.

Withdrawals and Surrender

The contract owner may surrender the contract and receive the contract cash surrender value at any time while the insured is living and the contract is in force. The cash surrender value will vary in accordance with investment performance of the Sub-Accounts and is equal to the contact account value less any contract loan and any applicable surrender charge.

Federal Income Taxes

The operations of the Variable Account are part of the operations of the Sponsor and are not taxed separately. The Sponsor qualifies for the federal income tax treatment granted to life insurance companies under Subchapter L of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). Under existing federal income tax law, investment income and realized gain distributions earned by the Variable Account on contract owner reserves are not taxable, and therefore, no provision has been made for federal income taxes. In the event of a change in applicable tax law, the Sponsor will review this policy and if necessary, a provision may be made in future years.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Sponsor’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the period. The most significant estimate is the fair value measurement of investments. Actual results could vary from the amounts derived from the Sponsor management’s estimates.

Subsequent events

The Sponsor’s management has evaluated events subsequent to December 31, 2025 through the date the financial statements are issued, noting that there are no subsequent events requiring accounting adjustments or disclosure.

3. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Sub-Accounts’ investments are carried at fair value. Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received from a sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“Topic 820”), establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value (i.e., Level 1, 2 and 3). Level 1 inputs are observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Variable Account has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs are observable inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, for the asset or liability or prices for similar assets and liabilities. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entity’s estimates of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Topic 820 requires that a fair value measurement technique include an adjustment for risks inherent in a particular valuation technique (such as a pricing model) and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the model, if market participants would also include such an adjustment.

The Variable Account has categorized its financial instruments, based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique, into the three-level hierarchy described above. If the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the category level is based on the lowest priority level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

The Variable Account uses the Funds’ closing net asset value to determine the fair value of its Sub-Accounts. As of December 31, 2025, the net assets held in the Variable Account were categorized as Level 1 assets under the Topic 820 hierarchy levels. There were no Level 2 or 3 investments in the Variable Account during the year ended December 31, 2025. There were no transfers between levels during the year ended December 31, 2025.

4. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Sponsor provides administrative services necessary for the operation of the Variable Account. The Sponsor absorbs all organizational expenses including the fees of registering the Variable Account and its contracts for distribution under federal and state securities laws.

5. CONTRACT CHARGES

Mortality and expense risk charges

Charges for mortality and expense risks are based on the value of the Sub-Account and are deducted daily from the Variable Account to cover the risks assumed by the Sponsor. The deductions are transferred periodically to the Sponsor. The deduction is at an effective annual rate of 0.60% of average daily assets in the Variable Account. These charges are reflected in the Statement of Operations.

Cost of Insurance

The cost of insurance charges are deducted monthly from the Variable Account and varies based on age, sex, and rating class. In general, the cost of insurance charge increases as the insured ages. These charges are reflected in the “Withdrawals, surrenders, and contract charges” line on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

8. TAX DIVERSIFICATION REQUIREMENTS

Under the provisions of Section 817(h) of the Code, a variable life contract, other than a pension plan contract, is not treated as a life contract for federal tax purposes for any period in which the investments of the segregated asset account on which the contract is based are not adequately diversified. The Code provides that the “adequately diversified” requirement may be met if the underlying investments satisfy either a statutory safe harbor test or diversification requirements set forth in regulations issued by the Secretary of Treasury. The Sponsor believes that the Variable Account satisfies the current requirements of the regulations, and it intends that the Variable Account will continue to meet such requirements.

9. SEGMENT REPORTING

The Variable Account derives revenues from certain variable life insurance products sold by the Sponsor. The Sponsor has identified its Chief Product Officer as the chief operating decision maker for overseeing the Variable Account’s variable life insurance products and the performance of the Funds to evaluate the results of the business and make operational decisions. The Variable Account’s products constitute a single operating segment and therefore, a single reportable segment. The Variable Account is structured with a limited purpose by design and its sole purpose is to record and report the Funds’ activities and performance. Investment performance of the Funds may vary based on the Fund’s investment objectives specified in the fund prospectuses. The accounting policies used to measure the profit and loss of the segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies herein. Refer to the Variable Account’s Statement of Operations for segment expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025 and the Statement of Assets and Liabilities for segment assets at December 31, 2025.

Represents the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the Sub-Account from the underlying mutual fund, which are net of management fees assessed by the fund manager, divided by the average net assets. The ratio excludes those expenses, such as mortality and expense charges, that result in direct reductions in the unit values. The recognition of investment income by the Sub-Account is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying mutual fund in which the Sub-Accounts invest.

Ratio represents the contract expenses of the Sub-Account, consisting exclusively of mortality and expense charges. The ratio includes only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying mutual fund are excluded.

Ratio represents the total return for the year indicated, including changes in the value of the underlying mutual fund. The total return does not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units; inclusion of these expenses in the calculation would result in reduction in the total return presented. The total return is calculated for each period indicated or from the effective date through the end of the reporting period.

Independent Auditors’ Report

The Board of Directors

Delaware Life Insurance Company:

Opinions

We have audited the financial statements of Delaware Life Insurance Company (the Company), which comprise the statutory statements of admitted assets, liabilities, and capital and surplus as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related statutory statements of operations, changes in capital and surplus, and cash flow for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes to the financial statements.

Unmodified Opinion on Statutory Basis of Accounting

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the admitted assets, liabilities, and capital and surplus of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flow for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2025 in accordance with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Delaware Department of Insurance described in Note 2.

Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

In our opinion, because of the significance of the matter discussed in the Basis for Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles section of our report, the financial statements do not present fairly, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, or the results of its operations or its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2025.

Basis for Opinions

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.

Basis for Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

As described in Note 2 to the financial statements, the financial statements are prepared by the Company using accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Delaware Department of Insurance, which is a basis of accounting other than U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, the financial statements are not intended to be presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The effects on the financial statements of the variances between the statutory accounting practices described in Note 2 and U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, although not reasonably determinable, are presumed to be material and pervasive.

KPMG LLP, a Delaware limited liability partnership, and its subsidiaries are part of

the KPMG global organization of independent member firms affiliated with KPMG

International Limited, a private English company limited by guarantee.

Emphasis of Matter

As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, certain 2024 related party investment disclosures have been restated due to an error correction. Our opinions are not modified with respect to this matter.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Delaware Department of Insurance. Management is also responsible for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:

•

Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

•

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

•

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

•

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.

•

Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

1.	Organization

Delaware Life Insurance Company (the “Company”) is a stock life insurance company incorporated under the laws of Delaware. The Company is a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of DLIC Sub-Holdings, LLC (“DLSH”), a Delaware limited liability company, and an indirect subsidiary of Group 1001 Insurance Holdings, LLC.

The Company is licensed to transact business in 49 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The business of the Company includes the issuance, administration, and servicing of a variety of wealth accumulation products, protection products, and institutional investment contracts.

2.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation - Accounting Practices

The accompanying financial statements of the Company are presented on the basis of accounting principles prescribed or permitted by the Delaware Department of Insurance (the “Department”). The Department recognizes only statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the State of Delaware for determining and reporting the financial condition and results of operations of an insurance company and for determining its solvency under Delaware’s insurance laws. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners’ (“NAIC’s”) Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual (“NAIC SAP”) has been adopted as a component of prescribed or permitted accounting principles by the State of Delaware. The Company has no permitted or prescribed practices that differ from NAIC SAP.

There was no difference in the Company’s net income (loss) or capital and surplus between NAIC SAP and practices prescribed and permitted by the State of Delaware as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 and for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023.

Accounting principles and procedures of the NAIC, as prescribed or permitted by the Department, comprise a basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The effects on the financial statements of the differences between NAIC SAP and GAAP are not reasonably determinable and are presumed to be material. The primary differences between GAAP and NAIC SAP can be summarized as follows:

•

The asset valuation reserve (“AVR”) and interest maintenance reserve (“IMR”) are eliminated with unrealized gains and losses reported directly in equity and realized gains and losses reported in income;

•

Certain assets designated under NAIC SAP as “nonadmitted assets” are included in the GAAP balance sheet rather than excluded from assets in the statutory balance sheet;

•

Certain policy acquisition costs and sales inducements are deferred and amortized over the estimated life of the policies for GAAP rather than charged to operations as incurred;

•

Policy and contract reserves for traditional life insurance are based on best estimates of expected mortality, morbidity, persistency and interest for GAAP rather than based on prescribed methodologies;

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025, 2024 AND 2023

(IN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE DATA)

•

Policy reserves on universal life and certain investment products are reported at account value, including additional liabilities for certain guaranteed benefits such as lifetime income benefit riders valued using actuarial assumptions for GAAP, rather than using prescribed statutory methodologies under NAIC SAP;

•

Certain premiums for life and annuity contracts are recognized as deposits for GAAP rather than recorded as premiums in the period received;

•

Investments in wholly owned insurance subsidiaries, other entities under the control of the Company, and certain variable interest entities are consolidated in the Company’s financial statements under GAAP rather than being carried at the Company’s share of the underlying audited GAAP equity or statutory surplus of a domestic insurance subsidiary;

•

The carrying value of investments in subsidiaries is adjusted for any unamortized goodwill as provided for in SSAP No. 68, Business Combinations and Goodwill (“SSAP No. 68”). Admissibility of goodwill is subject to certain limitations, and is amortized to unrealized gains and losses. Goodwill includes direct costs of an acquisition that are expensed under GAAP. Amortization of goodwill is elective for private companies under GAAP and is amortized to expense;

•

For equity method investments under GAAP, investee earnings and losses are reported in income and dividends of undistributed earnings reduce the carrying value of the investment. Under NAIC SAP, investee earnings and losses are reported as a change in unrealized gain/loss in capital and surplus, while dividends of accumulated undistributed earnings are reported in investment income;

•

Bonds designated as available for sale and trading securities are reported at fair value for GAAP with unrealized gains and losses reported in equity and income, respectively, rather than at amortized cost (or lower of cost or market for bonds with an NAIC designation of 6);

•

An allowance for credit losses is established for available-for-sale securities under the current expected loss model under GAAP rather than being evaluated for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) with impairments recorded as a direct write-down of the security’s cost basis for NAIC SAP;

•

Equity/fund investments such as mutual funds and exchange traded funds are classified as equity securities and reported at fair value with changes in fair value reported in earnings under GAAP. Under NAIC SAP, certain equity/fund investments identified by the NAIC’s Securities Valuation Office (the “SVO”) qualify for special bond treatment and are reported using the systematic valuation method;

•

All equity securities, excluding equity method investments, are carried at fair value with changes in fair value reported in earnings for GAAP rather than as unrealized gains and losses in capital and surplus for NAIC SAP;

•

Real estate held for the production of income properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and encumbrances;

•

Certain reinsurance transactions are accounted for as financing transactions under GAAP and as reinsurance for NAIC SAP. Assets and liabilities are reported gross of reinsurance for GAAP and net of reinsurance for NAIC SAP;

•

The statements of cash flow reconcile to changes in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash for GAAP. Under NAIC SAP, the Statutory Statements of Cash Flow reconcile to changes in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments with original maturities of one year or less. A reconciliation of net income to net cash provided by operating activities is not required;

•

Generally, changes in deferred taxes are reported as a component of net income under GAAP. Under NAIC SAP, changes in deferred taxes are direct adjustments to surplus and separately reported in the Statutory Statements of Changes in Capital and Surplus;

•

Money market funds are classified as short-term investments under GAAP and cash equivalents under NAIC SAP;

•

Certain contracts with a market value adjustment (“MVA”) feature are classified within the Company’s General Account under GAAP, but are classified within the Company’s non-insulated Separate Accounts under NAIC SAP;

•

Contracts that contain an embedded derivative, including fixed index annuities (“FIAs”), are bifurcated from the host contract and accounted for separately under GAAP. Under NAIC SAP, contracts that contain an embedded derivative are not bifurcated and are accounted for as part of the host contract;

•

Surplus notes designated as available for sale are reported at fair value for GAAP rather than at amortized cost for surplus notes with an NAIC designation of 1 or 2. Surplus notes with an NAIC designation of 3-6 are reported at the lower of amortized cost or fair value; and

•

The majority of derivatives are carried at fair value on both a GAAP and NAIC SAP basis. However, unrealized gains and losses on derivatives are recognized in income for GAAP purposes and are recognized in surplus under NAIC SAP. The Company designates derivatives as hedges on a limited basis which results in unrealized gains and losses on those derivatives being recognized in income.

In February 2026, the Company and its affiliate, Clear Spring Life and Annuity Company (“CSLAC”), received grand jury subpoenas in connection with an investigation being conducted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York; the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is conducting a parallel investigation (collectively, the “Investigation”). The Company is cooperating with the Investigation. The Company understands that the Investigation is focused on whether certain private credit investments introduced to the Company and CSLAC by an affiliate should have been treated as affiliated or related-party transactions. Subsequent to receiving the subpoenas, the Company initiated an internal investigation to review its affiliated and related-party disclosures. Through the internal investigation, errors were identified relating to the identification and presentation of certain related-party investments. As further discussed within the Correction of Errors section of this note, the Company has restated certain prior year disclosures to reflect additional related-party investments that were omitted from Note 3, Note 4, and Note 14 of the Company’s previously issued financial statements.

Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s statutory-basis financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates are those used in determining the fair value of financial instruments, allowance for loan losses, aggregate reserves for life policies and annuity contracts, deferred income taxes, provision for income taxes, and OTTI of investments.

Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Company in preparing the accompanying statutory-basis financial statements:

Investments

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into transactions involving various types of financial instruments, including cash equivalents, short-term investments, debt and equity securities, mortgage loans, and derivatives. These instruments involve credit risk and also may be subject to risk of loss due to interest rate fluctuations. The Company evaluates and monitors each financial instrument individually and, when appropriate, obtains collateral or other security to minimize potential losses. For securities in an unrealized loss position, management has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities until recovery. All securities are accounted for as of the date the investments are purchased or sold (the trade date).

Related-party investments are identified pursuant to SSAP No. 25, Affiliates and Other Related Parties (“SSAP No. 25”). As part of this assessment, the Company considers investments to be related party investments where the investment return is predominantly contingent on the performance of related parties. The Company defines predominantly contingent as greater than 50%. All related party investments are valued in accordance with the accounting policies described below, unless otherwise noted in Note 3.

Bonds

Effective January 1, 2025, the NAIC adopted changes to SSAP No. 26, Bonds (“SSAP No. 26”) and SSAP No. 43, Asset-Backed Securities (“SSAP No. 43”), which revised the definition of a bond and includes criteria for debt instruments to be identified as a bond. Bonds are now reported as issuer credit obligations (“ICO”) or asset-backed securities (“ABS”). Securities that no longer met the definition of a bond were reclassified to either preferred stock or other invested assets. The impact of this adoption is discussed further within the “New and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements” section of Note 2. Investments in bonds, mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”), and asset-backed securities are stated at amortized cost using the scientific method. Where the NAIC designation of a bond has fallen to 6 and the fair value has fallen below amortized cost, the bond is stated at fair value. Adjustments to the value of MBS and ABS securities based on changes in cash flows, including those related to changes in prepayment assumptions, are made retrospectively. As part of this process, the NAIC appointed a third-party vendor for each security type to develop a revised NAIC designation methodology. The ratings for residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”) and commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) are determined by comparing the insurer’s carrying value divided by the remaining par value to price ranges provided by the third-party vendor corresponding to each NAIC designation. Comparisons are initially made to the model based on amortized cost. Where the resulting designation is NAIC 6 per the model, further comparison based on fair value is required, which in some cases, results in a higher final NAIC designation.

The definition of structured securities under SSAP No. 43 includes certain types of ABS and MBS securities that do not follow the revised rating methodology described above, including, but not limited to, equipment trust certificates, credit tenant loans, 5*/6* securities, interest-only securities, and those with SVO assigned NAIC designations. Interest income on bonds, MBS, and ABS is recognized when earned based upon estimated principal repayments, if applicable. For bonds subject to prepayment risk, yields are recalculated and asset balances adjusted periodically so that expected return on future cash flows matches the expected return over the life of the investment from acquisition. If the collection of all contractual cash flows is not probable, an OTTI may be indicated. The process of analyzing securities for an OTTI adjustment is further described in Note 4.

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025, 2024 AND 2023

(IN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE DATA)

Preferred Stocks

Preferred stocks are stated in accordance with guidance provided in SSAP No. 32, Investments in Preferred Stock (“SSAP No. 32”). Perpetual preferred stocks and mandatory convertible preferred stocks are reported at fair value not to exceed any currently effective call price. Redeemable preferred stocks are stated at amortized cost unless they have an NAIC designation of 4, 5, or 6. Redeemable preferred stocks with an NAIC designation of 4, 5, or 6 are stated at the lower of amortized cost or fair value.

Common Stocks

Unaffiliated common stocks are stated at fair value, with changes in unrealized gains or losses credited or charged directly to unassigned surplus, net of tax. Affiliated common stocks are carried based on the underlying audited statutory equity of the investee for insurance subsidiaries and audited GAAP equity for non-insurance subsidiaries. The Company accounts for its investments in subsidiaries in accordance with SSAP No. 97, Investments in Subsidiary, Controlled and Affiliated Entities.

Mortgage Loans

Mortgage loans are stated at unpaid principal balances, net of provisions for estimated losses. Mortgage loans acquired at a premium or discount are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, net of provisions for estimated losses. Purchases and sales of mortgage loans are recognized or unrecognized in the Company’s Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities and Capital and Surplus on the loan’s trade date. Transaction costs on mortgage loans are capitalized on initial recognition and are recognized in the Company’s Statutory Statements of Operations using the effective interest rate method.

Mortgage loans, which primarily include first-lien commercial first mortgages, are diversified by property type and geographic area throughout the United States. Mortgage loans are collateralized by the related properties and the Company regularly assesses the value of the collateral.

A mortgage loan is considered impaired when it is probable that the principal or interest is not collectible in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan. When a mortgage loan is classified as impaired, allowances for credit losses are established to adjust the carrying value of the loan to its net recoverable amount. A specific allowance for loan loss is established for an impaired loan if the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or the fair value of the collateral less cost to sell, is less than the recorded amount of the loan. The full extent of impairment in the mortgage portfolio cannot be assessed solely by reviewing loans individually. A general allowance for loan loss is established based on an assessment of past loss experience on groups of loans with similar characteristics and current economic conditions. While management believes that it uses the best information available to establish loan loss allowances, future adjustments may become necessary if economic conditions differ from the assumptions used in calculating them.

Interest income is recognized on mortgage loans when the collection of contractually specified future cash flows is probable, in which case interest income is recorded in accordance with the effective interest rate method. Interest income is not recognized on impaired mortgage loans and such mortgage loans are placed in a non-accrual status when the collection of contractually specified future cash flows is not probable, in which case cash receipts are applied in the following order: first against the carrying value of the loan, then against the provision, and then to income. The accrual of interest resumes when the collection of contractually specified future cash flows becomes probable based on certain facts and circumstances.

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025, 2024 AND 2023

(IN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE DATA)

Changes in allowances for losses are recorded as changes in unrealized gains and losses to surplus. Once the conditions causing impairment improve and future payments are reasonably assured, the mortgages are no longer classified as impaired and the Company resumes accrual of income. However, if the original terms of the contract have been changed resulting in the Company providing an economic concession to the borrower at below market rates, then the mortgage is reclassified as restructured. If the conditions causing impairment do not improve and future payments remain unassured, the Company typically derecognizes the asset through disposition or foreclosure. Uncollectible collateral-dependent loans are written off through realized losses for any difference between the carrying value and amount received for the underlying property at the time of disposition or foreclosure.

Real Estate

The Company invests in real estate properties which consist of multi-unit housing complexes and multi-unit retail centers. The Company’s real estate investments are held for the production of income, as defined within SSAP No. 40, Real Estate Investments (“SSAP No. 40”). In accordance with SSAP No. 40, the Company carries its properties held for the production of income at cost less accumulated depreciation and encumbrances. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not recognize any impairment loss on real estate investments and did not sell or classify any real estate investments as held for sale. The Company has not experienced changes to a plan of sale for any of its real estate investments, does not engage in retail land sale operations, and does not hold any real estate investments with participating mortgage loan features.

Receivable/Payable for Securities

The Company has entered into agreements to purchase or sell certain securities as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 that have not yet settled and are recorded as a receivable or payable at the purchase or sale price with gains or losses on sales recorded in the Company’s Statements of Operations.

Other Invested Assets

Other invested assets are primarily comprised of limited partnerships, limited liability companies, collateral loans, surplus and capital notes, non-rated residual equity tranches, residential reverse mortgages, debt securities that do not qualify as bonds under SSAP No. 26, and investments in tax credit structures. Investments in limited partnerships and limited liability companies are stated based on the underlying audited GAAP equity of the investee in accordance with SSAP No. 48, Joint Ventures, Partnerships and Limited Liability Companies (“SSAP No. 48”). The Company’s share of undistributed earnings and losses of the investee are included in unrealized gains and losses of the Company. Distributions received from the investee are recognized in investment income when declared to the extent that they are not in excess of undistributed accumulated earnings attributable to the investee. Distributions declared in excess of undistributed accumulated earnings attributable to the investee reduce the carrying amount of the investments. Collateral loans are carried at unpaid principal balance. Surplus and capital notes with an NAIC designation of 1 or 2 are carried at amortized cost, while surplus and capital notes with an NAIC designation of 3 to 6 are carried at lower of amortized cost or fair value. Reverse mortgages are valued in accordance with the SSAP No. 39, Reverse Mortgages, which allows the Company to carry these securities at remaining principal balances. Income on reverse mortgages is recognized using the effective yield method based on the contractual interest rate and anticipated repayment of the mortgage. Debt securities that do not qualify as bonds under SSAP No. 26 are valued at the lower of amortized cost or fair value with changes in measurement being recorded as unrealized gains or losses.

Investments in tax credit structures are accounted for in accordance with SSAP No. 93, Investments in tax credit structures. Total tax credits and other tax benefits recognized were $9,100, $0, and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Total investments in tax credit structures were $55,940 and $2,263 at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The amount of investment amortization and non-income tax related activity recognized within net investment income and other returns allocated outside of income tax expense was $9,100, $0, and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. The Company had no investments in tax credit structures subject to any regulatory reviews as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. The Company did not record impairments on its investments in tax credit structures during 2025 or 2024. A summary of tax credits expected to be generated is as follows:

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Short-Term Investments

Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments are liquid assets. The Company’s cash equivalents primarily include commercial paper and money market instruments, which have an original term to maturity of less than three months. The carrying value for cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments is stated at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, unless the investment’s NAIC designation is 6, in which case the asset is carried at the lower of amortized cost or market. Short-term investments, with the exception of money market instruments which are carried at fair value per SSAP No. 2, Cash, Cash Equivalents, Drafts and Short-Term Investments, include bonds with a term to maturity exceeding three months, but less than one year on the date of acquisition.

Contract Loans

Contract loans are accounted for in accordance with SSAP No. 49, Policy Loans, and are carried at the amount of unpaid principal balance. Contract loans are collateralized by the related insurance policy and do not exceed the net cash surrender value of such policy.

Derivatives

As part of the Company’s overall risk management strategy, the Company uses over-the-counter (“OTC”) and listed options, exchange-traded futures, currency forwards, currency swaps, interest rate swaps, and swaptions. Derivatives are accounted for in accordance with SSAP No. 86, Derivatives.

Interest rate swaps are employed for duration matching purposes, in replication transactions, and to hedge the guaranteed minimum living benefit offered in some of the Company’s variable annuity policies.

Interest rate swaps are reported at fair value except those used in replication transactions which are reported at amortized cost. Changes in fair value are recorded as unrealized gains/losses within surplus.

The Company utilizes listed put and call options and exchange-traded futures on the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price Index (the “S&P 500 Index”) and other indices to hedge against stock market exposure inherent in the mortality and expense risk charges and guaranteed minimum death and living benefit features of the Company’s variable annuities. These options are reported at fair value. Changes in fair value for options are recorded in unrealized gains/losses within surplus. The daily cash variation margin settlements for futures are recorded as a component of net investment income.

The Company also purchases OTC and listed call options and exchange-traded futures on the S&P 500 Index and other indices to economically hedge its obligations under certain FIAs. The interest credited on these products is based on the changes in the indices. These instruments are purchased directly or through the Company’s wholly owned investment subsidiary, DL Investment Holdings 2016-1, LLC (“DLIH 2016-1”). Options purchased and held by the Company are reported at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in unrealized gains/losses within surplus. The daily cash variation margin settlements for futures are recorded as a component of net investment income. Income distributions from DLIH 2016-1 are reported as a component of net investment income.

The Company uses currency swaps and currency forwards to hedge against the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Currency swaps and currency forwards are reported at fair value. Changes in fair value are recorded as unrealized gains/losses within surplus. Swaptions are utilized by the Company to hedge exposure to interest rate risk. At the trade date of a swaption, a premium is paid to the counterparty and recorded as an asset. At expiration, swaptions either cash settle for value, settle into an interest rate swap, or expire worthless. Swaptions are reported at fair value and changes in fair value are recorded in unrealized gains/losses within surplus.

The Company presents cash flows and the related gains and losses associated with derivative instruments as miscellaneous proceeds or applications within net cash used in investing activities on the Statutory Statements of Cash Flows.

(IN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE DATA)

Repurchase Agreements and Reverse Repurchase Agreements

The Company participates in repurchase agreements where the Company sells securities and simultaneously agrees to repurchase the same or substantially the same securities at a stated price on a specified date. The Company accounts for repurchase agreements in accordance with SSAP No. 103, Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (“SSAP No. 103”). Repurchase agreements are accounted for as short-term borrowings and reported as term repo lending payable within liabilities on the Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, and Capital and Surplus.

The Company also participates in reverse repurchase agreements where the Company purchases securities and simultaneously agrees to resell the same or substantially the same securities at a stated price on a specified date. The Company accounts for reverse repurchase agreements in accordance with SSAP No. 103. The amount paid for securities under the reverse repurchase agreements is accounted for as short-term investments.

Net Investment Income and Accrued Investment Income

Investment income is recorded when earned. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Accrued investment income is comprised of accrued interest on bonds, preferred stock, short-term investments, mortgage loans, contract loans, other invested assets, and dividends declared but not yet received on common stock. Accrued investment income more than 90 days past due is nonadmitted and reported as a direct reduction of surplus in the Statutory Statements of Changes in Capital and Surplus, with the exception of mortgage loans. Accrued investment income on mortgage loans is recorded as investment income when such interest is deemed collectible, except for interest that is 180 days past due.

Investment Capital Gains and Losses

Realized capital gains and losses are determined on the basis of specific identification method. Realized capital losses also include valuation adjustments for impairments of bonds, mortgage loans, common and preferred stocks, and other investments that have experienced a decline in fair value that management considers to be “other-than-temporary.” In determining whether impairments are other-than-temporary, management considers the size of the excess of carrying value over fair value, the likelihood and expected timing of a recovery in value, the credit quality and financial condition of the issuer, management’s intent to sell when a decline is due to interest rates, and management’s intent and ability to hold the investment until maturity or a recovery in the investment’s fair value.

For asset-backed securities, the determination of OTTI is based on an estimate of the non-interest loss, which is recognized in the net realized capital losses in the Statutory Statements of Operations. To the extent the Company determines that a non-structured security, corporate bond, common stock, preferred stock, other invested asset, or mortgage loan is deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired, the difference between the cost of the security and fair value is recorded as a realized loss and the carrying amount of the investment is written down to its estimated fair value through realized capital losses. In accordance with SSAP No. 43, securities with OTTI are required to be written down to fair value only if the Company intends to sell or cannot assert the intent and ability to hold the investment until its anticipated recovery. However, if the Company can assert the intent and ability to hold the investment until its anticipated recovery, the valuation adjustment is based on the discounted future expected cash flows of the security discounted at the security’s original effective interest rate. Realized capital gains and losses as reported in the Statutory Statements of Operations are net of any capital gains tax (or benefit) and exclude any deferrals to the IMR of interest-rate related capital gains or losses.

Unrealized capital gains and losses include changes in the fair value of common stocks, interest rate swaps, currency swaps, currency forwards, certain bonds and preferred stocks, certain debt securities not classified as bonds, and change in the equity method share of the accumulated earnings of limited liability companies and partnerships and are reported net of any related changes in deferred taxes. Changes in unrealized capital gains and losses are reported in the Statutory Statements of Changes in Capital and Surplus.

Nonadmitted Assets

Under NAIC SAP, certain assets are designated as nonadmitted assets (e.g., affiliated common stocks of entities that are not audited, electronic data processing equipment, furniture and equipment, and a portion of accrued investment income). The Company had $51,667 and $44,757 in nonadmitted assets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Policy Reserves and Liabilities for Deposit-Type Contracts

Policy reserves and liabilities consist of deposit-type contracts and life and annuity policy reserves.

Life and Annuity Policy Reserves

The reserves for life insurance policies and annuity contracts are computed in accordance with presently accepted actuarial standards, and are based on actuarial assumptions and methods (including use of published mortality tables and prescribed interest rates) which produce reserves at least as great as those required by law and/or contract provisions. Annuity reserves are calculated in accordance with the Commissioner’s Annuity Reserve Valuation Method and Actuarial Guidelines 33 and 35, as applicable.

Liabilities for unpaid claims consist of the estimated amount payable for claims reported but not yet settled and an estimate of claims incurred but not reported. These liabilities include estimates of the expenses that will be incurred in connection with the payment of benefits. The amounts reported are based upon historical experience, adjusted for trends and current circumstances. Management believes that the recorded liability is sufficient to provide for the associated claims adjustment expenses. Revisions of these estimates are included in operations in the year such adjustments are determined to be required.

Unpaid losses and claims adjustment expenses for health insurance contracts include an amount determined from individual case estimates and loss reports, if necessary. An amount based on past experience and current payment trends is estimated for losses incurred but not reported. Such liabilities are necessarily based on assumptions and estimates and, while management believes the amount is adequate, the ultimate liability may be in excess of or less than the amount provided. The methods for making such estimates and for establishing the resulting liabilities are continually reviewed and any adjustments are reflected in the period determined.

Deposit-Type Contracts

Liabilities for funding agreements, premium deposit funds, investment-type contracts such as supplementary contracts not involving life contingencies, and certain structured settlement annuities are based on account value or accepted actuarial methods using applicable interest rates.

Contract Claims

The liability for policy and contract claims is based upon the estimated ultimate cost of settling the claims, using past experience adjusted for current trends, and any other factors that modify past experience.

Asset Valuation Reserve and Interest Maintenance Reserve

The Company is required to maintain an IMR and AVR. The IMR is used to defer realized capital gains and losses, net of any income tax, on fixed income investments and derivatives that are attributable to changes in interest rates. Net realized capital gains and losses deferred to the IMR are amortized into investment income over the estimated remaining term to maturity of the investment sold. Revisions to INT 23-01, Net Negative (Disallowed) Interest Maintenance Reserve were adopted with an effective date of August 13, 2023 to provide limited-time exception guidance to SSAP No. 7, Asset Valuation Reserve and Interest Maintenance Reserve, and the annual statement instruction for the reporting of net negative (disallowed) IMR. The revisions allow an insurer to admit negative IMR up to 10% of adjusted capital and surplus when its Risk-Based Capital (“RBC”) is greater than 300% after adjustment to remove admitted positive goodwill, electronic data processing equipment and operating system software, deferred tax assets (“DTAs”), and admitted IMR. Further revisions were adopted with an effective date of August 11, 2025 to provide further clarification on this guidance, as well as add an additional requirement that admitted negative IMR should not exceed 10% of unadjusted capital and surplus as of the end of the reporting period. As a result of these revisions, the Company reported $240,474 and $169,590 of admitted negative IMR within the Statutory Statement of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, and Capital and Surplus as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company also recognized $0 and $8,709 of negative IMR as an asset within the Company’s non-insulated Separate Account as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The Company’s calculated adjusted capital and surplus for purposes of determining negative IMR allowed to be admitted using information from the Company’s most recently filed statement with the Department was $2,748,634 and $2,263,012 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The General Account admitted negative IMR represented 8.7% and 7.5% of the Company’s General Account adjusted capital and surplus as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Separate Account negative IMR recognized as an asset represented 0.0% and 0.4% of the Company’s General Account adjusted capital and surplus as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The General Account admitted negative IMR represented 6.3% and 5.9% of the Company’s General Account unadjusted capital and surplus as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Separate Account admitted negative IMR represented 0.0% and 0.3% of the Company’s General Account unadjusted capital and surplus as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Fixed income investments generating IMR losses comply with the Company’s documented investment or liability management policies. There were no temporary and transitory timing issues or events that caused IMR losses to not be reflective of reinvestment activities. Asset sales generating negative IMR were not compelled by liquidity pressures. The Company had derivative activity included in IMR as follows:

The AVR represents a reserve for invested asset valuation using a formula prescribed by the NAIC. The AVR is intended to protect surplus by absorbing declines in the value of the Company’s investments that are not related to changes in interest rates. Increases or decreases in the AVR are reported as direct adjustments to surplus in the Statutory Statements of Changes in Capital and Surplus.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for current and deferred income taxes and recognizes reserves for income tax contingencies in accordance with SSAP No. 101, Income Taxes (“SSAP No. 101”). Under the applicable asset and liability method for recording deferred income taxes, DTAs, net of any nonadmitted portion, and deferred tax liabilities (“DTLs”) are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the statutory financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. DTAs and DTLs are measured using the enacted tax rates on which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The change in deferred taxes is charged or credited directly to surplus. Gross DTAs are first reduced by a statutory valuation allowance, if deemed appropriate.

The Company then determines the admissibility of the remaining net DTAs, after valuation allowance, subject to admissibility limitations set forth in NAIC SAP.

Reinsurance

Certain of the Company’s individual life insurance, annuity, and group insurance policies are reinsured on a coinsurance and funds held coinsurance basis with both affiliated and unaffiliated companies using indemnity reinsurance agreements. The Company accounts for funds held under coinsurance in accordance with SSAP No. 61, Life, Deposit-Type and Accident and Health Reinsurance (“SSAP No. 61”). The amounts withheld by the Company under these arrangements are recorded as liabilities on the Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, and Capital and Surplus.

Reinsurance premiums, claims and claim adjustment expenses are accounted for on a basis consistent with those used in accounting for the original policies issued and the terms of the reinsurance contracts. The Company remains contingently liable for the liabilities ceded in the event the reinsurers are unable to meet their obligations under the reinsurance agreements. To limit the possibility of such losses, the Company evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers and monitors its concentration of credit risk.

Amounts recoverable and payable under reinsurance agreements include amounts recoverable or due related to net settlements with assumed, ceded, and retroceded activity.

The following accounting applies to coinsurance arrangements with funds withheld:

Ceding Entity

Premiums paid or payable to the reinsurer reduce premium income. Policy benefit payments paid by the reinsurer reduce reported policy benefits. Expense allowances paid by the reinsurer are reported separately in the Statutory Statements of Operations as they are incurred. A net reduction to policy reserves is taken for the portion of the obligation assumed by the reinsurer. Any funds withheld by the ceding entity are recorded as a separate liability.

Assuming Entity

Premiums received or receivable by the reinsurer increase premium income. Policy benefit payments paid by the reinsurer increase the reported policy benefits. Expense allowances paid by the reinsurer are reported separately in the Statutory Statements of Operations when payable. The reinsurer records its share of the statutory policy reserves attributable to the business identified in the reinsurance agreement. Any funds withheld by the ceding entity are recorded as a separate asset by the assuming entity. Non-IMR gains and losses are recorded through net investment income by the assuming entity.

Borrowed Money

At December 31, 2024, the Company had a short-term advance from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis (“the FHLB”). The outstanding balance was accounted for in accordance with SSAP No. 15, Debt and Holding Company Obligations, and classified as Borrowed money on the Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, and Capital and Surplus. During 2025, the short-term advance matured and was repaid by the Company.

Separate Accounts

The assets and liabilities of the separate accounts shown in the Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, and Capital and Surplus are reported at fair value or, if there is no readily available market, in accordance with the valuation procedures in the applicable contract. These represent funds that are segregated and maintained for the benefit of separate account contract holders.

Premiums and Annuity Considerations

Annuity considerations are recognized as revenue when received. Premiums for traditional life insurance products are recognized as revenue when due and are recognized over the premium-paying period of the related policies. Considerations for deposit-type contracts, which do not have any life contingencies, are recorded directly to the related liability.

Assets Transferred on Coinsurance

Effective December 31, 2023, the Company entered into a reinsurance agreement with its wholly owned subsidiary, Delaware Life and Annuity Company (“DLAC”), to cede a block of multi-year guaranteed annuity (“MYGA”) contracts on a coinsurance basis. Effective December 1, 2024, the Company amended and restated its coinsurance agreement with Delaware Life Reinsurance (Barbados) Corp. (“Barbco”), a former affiliate, which, in part, resulted in additional corporate-owned life insurance (“COLI”) policies being ceded by the Company. Refer to Note 10 for additional information on these agreements.

The assets transferred by the Company under these agreements were recorded as a reduction to income in the Statutory Statements of Operations.

Commissions and Expense Allowances

Expenses incurred in connection with acquiring new insurance business are charged to operations as incurred in accordance with SSAP No. 71, Policy Acquisition Costs and Commissions.

Expense (Income) Under Hedging Program With Affiliate

In accordance with the terms of the Hedging Program Agreement between the Company and DLIH 2016-1, the Company pays a service fee that is settled in conjunction with a liability option impact.

Settlements related to this agreement are recorded as an increase or decrease to expenses in the Statutory Statements of Operations.

New and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Effective January 1, 2025, the Company adopted revisions to SSAP No. 26 and SSAP No. 43 which modified the definition of a bond in order to incorporate principle-based bond concepts. Under the new revisions, the definition of a bond requires a security structure, representing a creditor relationship, to be considered an ICO or an ABS. As part of the adoption of these revisions, any security that no longer met the definition of a bond was reclassified to other invested assets or preferred stocks and accounted for under SSAP No. 21, Other Admitted Assets, or SSAP No. 32, respectively. These revisions were required to be adopted prospectively, with new disclosure requirements resulting from this adoption reflected in the Company’s current year disclosures. Disclosures relating to prior period information are not reflective of this prospective accounting change. The impact of the revisions to the Company were as follows:


Aggregate book adjusted carrying value for all securities reclassified out of bonds	$	633,420
Aggregate book adjusted carrying value after transition for all securities reclassified out of bonds that resulted with a change in measurement basis (a)		435,683
Aggregate surplus impact for securities reclassified out of bonds		(17,224	)

(a)

The book adjusted carrying value after transition for all securities that moved from an amortized cost to a fair value measurement method under the lower of amortized cost or fair value approach was $269,763.

Correction of Errors

The Company accounts for the correction of errors in accordance with SSAP No. 3, Accounting Changes and Corrections of Errors.

As discussed above, an internal investigation identified errors related to the Company’s 2024 note disclosures of related-party investments. Specifically, certain private credit investments have been determined to be predominantly contingent on the performance of related parties, which has resulted in the restatement of certain prior year disclosures to reflect additional related-party investments that were omitted from Note 3, Note 4, and Note 14 of the Company’s previously issued financial statements. Following the Company’s review of related-party disclosures, general account related-party investments as of December 31, 2024, excluding investments in subsidiaries, increased from $2,261,658 to $11,558,601.

The Company discovered an error related to an incorrect assumption, which impacted the calculation of certain reserves supporting variable annuities. The error resulted in aggregate reserves for life policies being overstated in prior periods. This error has been adjusted and recorded in 2024, net of tax, in the Statutory Statements of Capital and Surplus in the amount of $14,637.

The Company discovered an error related to the application of cash on certain investment transactions. The error resulted in receivables for securities being understated in prior periods. This error has been adjusted and recorded in 2024, net of tax, in the Statutory Statements of Capital and Surplus in the amount of $10,002.

As such, the goodwill reported in the table below for CSCIC is reflected in the Company’s book value of CSPCH as of December 31, 2025, in addition to the goodwill noted above.

Exposure to any single issuer is less than 10% of net admitted assets.

Other-than-temporary Impairment

The Company recognizes and measures OTTI for ABS in accordance with SSAP No. 43. In accordance with SSAP No. 43, if the fair value of an ABS is less than its amortized cost basis at the Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities and Capital and Surplus date, the Company assesses whether the impairment is an OTTI. When an OTTI has occurred, the amount of OTTI recognized in earnings is the difference between the amortized cost basis of the security and the present value of its expected future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate implicit in the security.

If the Company intends to sell the ABS, or if it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, an OTTI is considered to have occurred. The amount of the OTTI recognized is the difference between the amortized cost basis and the fair value of the security. In accordance with SSAP No. 43, the amount of OTTI that is non-interest related shall be recorded through the AVR, and the amount of the OTTI that is interest related shall be recorded through the IMR.

If the Company does not intend to sell the ABS, or if it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the Company employs a portfolio monitoring process and performs cash-flow based testing to determine if the present value of its expected future cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate implicit in the security is less than its amortized cost basis.

Estimating future cash flows is a quantitative and qualitative process that incorporates information received from third parties, along with assumptions and judgments about the future performance of the underlying collateral.

Losses incurred on the respective portfolios are based on loss models using assumptions about key systematic risks, such as unemployment rates and housing prices, and loan-specific information, such as delinquency rates and loan-to-value ratios.

There was $0, $0, and $73 in OTTI recorded in 2025, 2024, and 2023 on ABS held as of December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively, pursuant to SSAP No. 43.

If the fair value of a bond, other than those subject to SSAP No. 43, is less than its amortized cost basis at the Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities and Capital and Surplus date, the Company assesses whether the impairment is an OTTI. An OTTI has occurred when it is probable that all amounts due according to the contractual terms will not be collected or when a decision to sell the bond at an amount below its carrying value has been made. When an OTTI has occurred, the amount of OTTI recognized in earnings is the difference between the amortized cost basis of the security and its fair value.

The Company performs quarterly procedures in determining whether a security is other-than-temporarily impaired. The process involves a screening of all securities with a fair value less than the amortized cost basis. As part of this screening, the Company also incorporates a monitor and watch list maintained by investment managers. Inclusion in this list may be driven by heightened risk of particular sectors driven by macro events or credit events on individual issuers or particular investments, such as a ratings downgrade. Based on the evidence, securities identified may be subject to further review to evaluate issuer-specific facts and circumstances, such as the issuer’s ability to meet current and future interest and principal payments, an evaluation of the issuer’s financial position and its near-term recovery prospects, difficulties being experienced by an issuer’s parent or affiliate, and management’s assessment of the outlook for the issuer’s sector. Upon completion of this screening process, the relevant information is provided to the Company’s Asset Valuation Committee, which is composed of investment and finance professionals, to exercise judgment and conclude on whether there is an OTTI.

Should it be determined that a security is other-than-temporarily impaired, the Company records a loss through an appropriate adjustment in carrying value. A summary of impairments incurred by the Company for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 is as follows:

There are inherent risks and uncertainties in management’s evaluation of securities for OTTI. These risks and uncertainties include factors both external and internal to the Company, such as general economic conditions, an issuer’s financial condition or near-term recovery prospects, market interest rates, unforeseen events which affect one or more issuers or industry sectors, and portfolio management parameters, including asset mix, interest rate risk, portfolio diversification, duration matching, and greater-than-expected liquidity needs. All of these factors could impact management’s evaluation of securities for OTTI.

The unrealized losses of $1,172,466 on bonds as of December 31, 2025 were primarily attributable to higher interest rates and wider spread levels. As disclosed above, the Company’s bond portfolio was composed of 96.6% of investment-grade bonds as of December 31, 2025, which did not materially change from the 95.3% held at December 31, 2024. Full repayment of principal and interest is expected. The contractual terms of these investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than par, which will equal amortized cost at maturity. Because the Company did not intend to sell these investments or lack the ability to hold them to recovery at December 31, 2025, these investments were not considered other-than-temporarily impaired.

5.	Mortgage Loans

The Company invests in commercial and residential first mortgage loans primarily in the United States. Investments are diversified by property type and geographic area in order to manage credit risk. The Company monitors the condition of the mortgage loans in its portfolio.

In those cases where mortgages have been restructured, appropriate allowances for losses are made. In those cases where, in management’s judgment, the mortgage loan’s value is impaired, appropriate losses are recorded.

The following table shows the geographic distribution of the carrying value of the Company’s mortgage loan portfolio as of December 31, 2025 and 2024:

The Company originated 37 and 21 commercial mortgage loans in 2025 and 2024, respectively, and made additional investments after acquisition each year with a total cost of new loans of $782,666 and $576,557, respectively. The Company originated 427 and 85 new residential mortgage loans in 2025 and 2024, respectively, with a total cost of $233,796 and $55,921, respectively. Minimum and maximum rates of the new loans ranged from 4.8% to 13.0% and 5.5% to 14.2% in 2025 and 2024, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not reduce interest rates on any outstanding mortgage loans. Mortgage loans are collateralized by the related properties. At the time the original loan was made during 2025, the loan to value ratio (“LTV”) was no more than 116.5% for commercial mortgages and no more than 92.5% for residential loans made during 2025. At the time the original loan was made during 2024, the LTV was no more than 67.8% of the property’s value for commercial mortgages, and no more than 89.9% for residential loans.

A mortgage loan is considered impaired when it is probable that the principal or interest is not collectible in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan. The allowance for credit losses is estimated using the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral. A specific allowance for loan loss is established for an impaired loan if the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or the fair value of the loan collateral, less cost to sell, is less than the recorded amount of the loan. The Company did not have a specific allowance for loan loss at December 31, 2025 and 2024. A general allowance for loan loss is established based on an assessment of past loss experience on groups of loans with similar characteristics and current economic conditions. The general allowance for loan loss was $2,460 at December 31, 2025 and 2024. While management believes that it uses the best information available to establish allowances, future adjustments may become necessary if economic conditions differ from the assumptions used in calculating them. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company individually and collectively evaluated loans with a net carrying value of $2,876,608 and $2,193,968, respectively.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company held no restructured loans. Should the Company hold any troubled debt, the Company may modify the terms of a loan by adjusting the interest rate, extending the maturity date, or both.

Delinquency status is determined based upon the occurrence of a missed contract payment. There were 18 loans totaling $10,456 past due greater than 90 days at December 31, 2025, and there were 6 loans totaling $6,565 past due greater than 90 days at December 31, 2024.

The Company accrues interest income on impaired loans to the extent it is deemed collectible. Otherwise, receipts on non-performing loans are not recognized as interest income until the loan is no longer impaired, is sold, or is otherwise made whole. Any cash collected during the period where the loan is impaired is applied to lower its carrying value. Other information is as follows:

6.	Repurchase Agreements and Reverse Repurchase Agreements Transactions Accounted for as Secured Borrowing

Repurchase Agreements Transactions Accounted for as Secured Borrowing

The Company opportunistically uses repurchase transactions in conjunction with its liquidity management program to temporarily provide short-term liquidity from time-to-time as needed and determined by the Company. Using repurchase transactions to meet short-term liquidity needs positions the Company to be prepared to execute on opportunistic investments as they arise. The collateral posted by the Company is subject to fair value change and a decline in fair value could require the Company to post additional collateral to the counterparty. This risk is mitigated by the Company’s internal policy of limiting repurchase transactions to 5.0% of its available collateral. Potential liquidity risks arising from a duration mismatch between the collateral and repurchase transaction are mitigated by the Company’s other sources of liquidity, such as monthly principal and interest payments, premium sales by the Company, and other lines of credit established by the Company. The Company typically receives cash for its repurchase transactions; however, the Company has received United States Treasuries on occasion. In the case of United States Treasuries, the Company monitors the price of the Treasury collateral to ensure the Company is adequately collateralized.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements Transactions Accounted for as Secured Borrowing

The Company engages in a reverse repurchase agreement program. This program is intended to provide opportunistic, short-term financing to counterparties. Each repurchase agreement entered into is governed by the terms of the Master Repurchase Agreement (“MRA”) as agreed to between the parties. Under the terms of the MRA, the Company purchases investments from the counterparty and the counterparty agrees to repurchase the same, or similar investments, back from the Company on a specified date at a specified price. On the maturity date, the Company may elect to enter into a new repurchase agreement with that same counterparty. The Company’s decision to do so will be dependent on its liquidity needs and assessment of the counterparty, as well as the collateral’s performance.

As a risk mitigant, the Company requires its counterparties to post collateral in excess of the loan amount, otherwise known as over collateralization. The amount of over collateralization is up to the Company’s discretion, but will not be less than 102%. On average, the Company has required over collateralization of 120%. The short duration of the repurchase agreements and the over collateralization required by the Company mitigate potential financial risks associated with these transactions.

An overview of the Company’s reverse repurchase agreements as of December 31, 2025 is as follows:

9.	Derivatives

The Company uses derivatives for hedging or replication purposes. Interest rate swaps are mainly employed for hedging guaranteed minimum living benefits for certain variable annuity contracts and for duration matching purposes.

Options and swaptions are used to hedge equity and interest exposure embedded in the Company’s fixed, FIA, and variable annuity products. Futures are used to hedge equity exposure included in FIAs, as well as the guaranteed minimum death and living benefit features of the Company’s variable annuities. Currency forwards and swaps are used to hedge changes in foreign currency exchange (“FX”) rates.

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024 AND

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025, 2024 AND 2023

(IN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE DATA)

Interest rate swaps, options, swaptions, and currency swaps are reported at fair value, with the unrealized gain or loss reported as an adjustment to surplus if not designated as an effective hedge. All futures are marked to market and settled on a daily basis, with the gain or loss reported as a component of net investment income (loss).

The Company uses options to hedge the equity exposure embedded in its FIA products with the Morgan Stanley Global Opportunities Index (“MSGO”), OTC options on the S&P 500, the Deutsche Bank Cash Return on Capital Invested (“CROCI”) Sectors III Index, the Deutsche Bank Momentum Asset Allocator (“MAA”) indices, the Barclays First Trust Capital Strength Barclays 5% Index (“FTCS”), and the RBA Select Equity Yield CIBC 5% Index (“RBEY”). Fair value changes in the options embedded within the annuity contract are recorded through income. The Company purchases certain of these options through its investment subsidiary, DLIH 2016-1, which is accounted for in accordance with SSAP No. 48.

Market risk is the risk of loss due to market price changes of the derivative instrument or the underlying security or index. To mitigate this risk, the Company matches the market sensitivity of the hedge with the market sensitivity of the underlying asset or liability being hedged.

Credit risk is the counterparty credit risk or risk of loss as a result of default or a decline in market value stemming from a credit downgrade of the counterparty to the derivative transaction. The Company minimizes this risk by entering into derivatives only with counterparties that meet certain criteria, by utilizing standardized agreements, and by limiting counterparty concentrations.

All derivative transactions are covered under standardized contractual agreements with counterparties, all of which include credit-related contingent features. Certain counterparty relationships also may include supplementary agreements with tailored terms, such as additional triggers for early terminations, acceptable practices related to cross-transaction netting, and minimum thresholds for determining collateral.

Credit-related triggers include failure to pay or deliver on an obligation past certain grace periods, bankruptcy, or the downgrade of credit ratings to below a stipulated level. These triggers apply to both the Company and its counterparty.

At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company pledged $147,139 and $130,800, respectively, in U.S. Treasury securities and cash as collateral to counterparties. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, counterparties pledged to the Company $44,772 and $62,799, respectively, in collateral comprised of cash, U.S. Treasury securities, and corporate bonds.

Reinsurance

The Company participates in reinsurance with other insurance companies to limit the loss exposure on certain risks associated with its products. Reinsurance ceded contracts do not relieve the Company from its obligations to policyholders. The Company remains liable to its policyholders for the portion reinsured to the extent that any reinsurer does not meet the obligations assumed under the reinsurance agreement. To minimize its exposure to significant losses from reinsurer insolvencies, the Company regularly evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers and monitors concentrations of credit risk. Management believes that any liability arising from this exposure is unlikely. The Company had no uncollectible reinsurance balances written off and no commutation of ceded reinsurance during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023.

The Company has agreements with several unrelated companies, which provide for reinsurance of portions of the net amount at risk under certain of the Company’s individual and group life insurance policies. These amounts are reinsured on either a monthly renewable term, yearly renewable term, or coinsurance basis.

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company established a coinsurance and modified coinsurance agreement with Hannover Life Reassurance Company of America (“Hannover”) under which it cedes certain in-force variable annuity base contracts. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, premiums ceded under the agreement were $293,331, $388,744, and $273,442, respectively, and benefits ceded (including policy surrenders) were $1,191,000, $1,245,115, and $1,082,509, respectively.

Effective April 1, 2018, the Company established a coinsurance with funds withheld agreement with Hannover under which the Company cedes guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit risks associated with certain of the Company’s FIA contracts.

Effective April 1, 2025, the Company established a coinsurance with funds withheld agreement with Hannover Life Reassurance Company of America (Bermuda) Ltd, under which the Company cedes guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit risks associated with certain of the Company’s FIA contracts.

Effective July 1, 2025, the Company established a coinsurance agreement with Mitsui Sumitomo Primary Life Insurance Company, Limited (“MSPL”), under which the Company assumes certain liabilities associated with FIA and fixed annuity (“FA”) contracts issued by MSPL in Japan. Under this agreement, the Company assumes 100% of the risks related to surrender benefits, death benefits, maturity values, trail ceding commissions, and broker fees associated with the fixed portion of the FIA contracts and 50% of all risks associated with the FA contracts. For the year ended December 31, 2025, premiums and reserves assumed under this agreement were $214,099 and $216,192, respectively.

Effective October 1, 2025, the Company established a proportional indemnity coinsurance agreement with New Reinsurance Company, LTD (“New Reinsurance”) under which the Company cedes a quota share of risks associated with multi-year guaranteed annuity (“MYGA”) contracts issued by the Company from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025 and MYGA contracts that will be issued by the Company in the future. As a result of this agreement, the Company recorded a deferred reinsurance gain, net of current year amortization, of $148,197 within the Statutory Statements of Changes in Capital and Surplus as of December 31, 2025.

The Company has a reinsurance agreement with DLRC in which the Company cedes certain risks associated with the Company’s variable annuity contracts and associated riders on a combination modified coinsurance and funds withheld coinsurance basis to DLRC (the “VA Treaty”). The VA Treaty transfers hedging risks to DLRC but does not transfer insurance risks. Therefore, the treaty is accounted for using deposit accounting. As a result, certain gains (losses) previously accounted for as other changes in capital and surplus, net investment income, and net realized capital gains (losses) are accounted for as investment (expense) on reinsurance deposit asset/liability. Hedging risk is defined as changes in unrealized hedging instrument gains or losses, realized gains and losses on dispositions of hedging instruments, and investment income or loss from hedging instruments. Investment (income) expense on funds held represents amounts paid or received on hedging instruments that were ceded under the VA Treaty. Ceded realized gains and losses are reported in net realized capital gains (losses). Investment income (expense) on funds held—unrealized represents the unrealized gain or loss for the period on hedging instruments that has been ceded to DLRC. Investment (expense) on reinsurance deposit asset/liability represents the net gains and losses on all hedging instruments ceded under the VA Treaty.

The Company recognized a reinsurance deposit liability of $99,982 and $16,639 with a corresponding amount receivable from DLRC reported as Other amounts receivable under affiliated reinsurance contracts at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Until December 1, 2024, the Company had a reinsurance agreement with Barbco under which it ceded risks associated with certain of the Company’s in-force COLI and private placement variable universal life insurance policies on a combination coinsurance and coinsurance with funds-held basis (the “COLI Agreement”). The Company also had a reinsurance agreement with Barbco under which it ceded mortality risks associated with certain of the Company’s in-force bank-owned variable universal life insurance policies on a yearly renewable term basis (the “BOLI Agreement”).

During 2024, the COLI Agreement and BOLI Agreement were both amended and restated effective December 1, 2024. The amendments to the COLI Agreement removed the funds-held structure and resulted in an additional block of in-force COLI policies with reserves totaling $78,007 being ceded by the Company. Subsequently, but also effective December 1, 2024, the Company entered into a Novation and Release Agreement by and among Barbco, Somerset Reinsurance Ltd. (“Somerset”), an unaffiliated reinsurer with reciprocal jurisdiction, and the Company, pursuant to which Barbco transferred, assigned, and novated all of its rights, title and interest of, and duties, liabilities and obligations under each of the amended and restated agreements, and Somerset accepted, assumed, and reinsured such rights, title, interests, duties, liabilities, and obligations in order to accomplish novation of the two amended and restated reinsurance agreements to Somerset. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the reserve credit for this block of business was $353,486 and $361,802, respectively.

Effective December 31, 2023, the Company entered into a reinsurance agreement with DLAC to cede a block of MYGA contracts on a coinsurance basis. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company ceded a 10% quota share of the activity associated with the MYGAs, including initial statutory reserves totaling $118,857 at December 31, 2023, and it received a $6,700 ceding commission from DLAC. In exchange for DLAC’s assumption of the initial statutory reserves, the Company agreed to transfer assets totaling $118,857 to DLAC, which the Company recorded as a reduction to income on the Statutory Statements of Operations during 2023. The assets were subsequently transferred to DLAC during 2024. Benefits ceded under this agreement totaled $60,172 and $4,004, inclusive of surrender benefits and withdrawals for life contracts of $58,885 and $3,973, for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Reserves

The reserves for life insurance and annuity contracts are computed in accordance with presently accepted actuarial standards and are based on actuarial assumptions and methods (including use of published mortality tables and prescribed interest rates and methodologies) which produce reserves at least as great as those required by law and contract provisions.

Deduction of deferred fractional premiums upon death of the insured and return of any portion of the final premium for the period beyond the date of death are not applicable to the business of the Company. Surrender values are not promised in excess of reserves legally computed.

For policies with annual extra premiums, additional reserves are held equal to one-half the extra premium. Extra premiums on single premium policies are amortized over ten years. Policies issued with premiums corresponding to ages higher than the true ages are valued at the rated-up ages. Policies issued subject to a lien are valued as if the full amount were payable without any deduction. For interest-sensitive policies, substandard risks are reflected in the cost of insurance charges.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had $4,084 and $5,095, respectively, of insurance in force, for which gross premiums were less than the net premiums according to the standard of valuation required by the State of Delaware. Premium deficiency reserves to cover the above insurance totaled $0 and $2,816 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The Tabular Interest has been determined by formula as described in the NAIC instructions, except for some business which is determined from basic policy data for reserving. The Tabular less Actual Reserve Released has been determined by formula as described in the NAIC instructions. The Tabular Cost has been determined by formula as described in the NAIC instructions, except for universal life products which use cost of insurance and some business which uses basic policy data for reserving. The Tabular Interest on Funds not Involving Life Contingencies was determined from the interest credited to the deposits, except for certain guaranteed interest contracts which are determined by formula as described in the NAIC instructions.

The details for other changes in reserves for the year ended December 31, 2025 were as follows:

Separate Accounts

Certain prior period balances within this note have been restated to reflect additional related-party investments that were omitted from the Company’s previously issued financial statements.

The Company has established insulated Separate Accounts applicable to various classes of contracts, including those providing variable benefits, funding agreements, and pension risk transfer (“PRT”) group annuity contracts.

Contracts for which funds are invested in unitized insulated variable Separate Accounts include individual and group life and annuity contracts. The assets in these unitized accounts are carried at fair value and the investment risk associated with such assets is retained by the contract holder. These variable products provide minimum death benefits, and in certain annuity contracts, minimum accumulation or withdrawal benefits. The minimum guaranteed benefit reserves associated with the unitized Separate Accounts are reported in Aggregate reserves for life contracts in the Company’s Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities, and Capital and Surplus. The Company earns Separate Account fees for providing administrative services and bearing the mortality risks related to variable contracts. Net investment income, capital gains and losses, and changes in mutual fund asset values in variable Separate Accounts are allocated to policyholders and therefore are not reflected in the Statutory Statements of Operations of the General Account.

Contracts for which funds are invested in a non-unitized insulated variable Separate Account established by the Company include private placement variable annuities offered to high-net-worth individuals, private placement variable universal life insurance policies, and group annuity contracts, including unallocated group annuity contracts, and funding agreements issued to related parties. The non-unitized variable Separate Account supports the death benefits, if any, and accumulated contract values of contracts backed by the Separate Account. The Company’s General Account supports optional guarantees and any other fixed obligations of the contracts. Transfers of assets between the Company’s non-unitized variable Separate Account and its General Account are governed by the Plan of Operations of DL Private Variable Account B, as approved by the Delaware Department and made effective on August 29, 2025, and section 2932 of the Delaware Insurance Code.

NOTES TO STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024 AND

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025, 2024 AND 2023

(IN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE DATA)

In 2025, the Company established an insulated commingled Separate Account to support annuities payable under a number of group fixed annuity contracts issued to employers or trusts in respect of pension plans established for the benefit of employees, former employees, or their beneficiaries in connection with the Company’s entry into the PRT market (the “PRT Contracts”). The assets allocated by the Company to the insulated commingled Separate Account are not unitized and are carried at statutory book value (i.e. general account basis) and investment risk is retained by the Company. These assets support liabilities of the PRT Contracts, and such liabilities are guaranteed by the Company’s General Account. Transfers between the Company’s insulated commingled Separate Account and its General Account are governed by the Plan of Operations of Delaware Life PRT Separate Account A, as approved by the Delaware Department on December 17, 2024, and section 2932 of the Delaware Insurance Code. The Company records premiums related to the PRT Contracts when due in accordance with SSAP No. 51, Life Contracts, and records benefits related to the PRT Contracts when incurred.

The legal insulation of Separate Account assets prevents such assets from being generally available to satisfy General Account claims. In accordance with the domiciliary state procedures for approving items within the Separate Account, the Separate Account classification of legally insulated, versus not legally insulated, is supported by section 2932 of the Delaware Insurance Code.

The Company had previously established a non-insulated Separate Account for certain contracts that included a market value adjustment feature associated with fixed rates, including for amounts allocated to the fixed portion of certain combination fixed and variable deferred annuity contracts. As of January 1, 2025, the liabilities for these contracts, along with the corresponding assets, were transferred the Company’s General Account.

For the current reporting year, the Company reported assets and liabilities from the following products in a Separate Account:

•

Variable Life

•

Variable Annuity

•

Funding Agreements

•

PRT Group Annuity

The assets legally insulated and non-legally insulated from the General Account as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 were attributable to the following products:

Separate Account liabilities are determined in accordance with prescribed actuarial methodologies, which approximate the fair value of the related assets less surrender charges, as applicable. The resulting surplus is recorded in the Statutory Statements of Operations for the General Account as a component of “Net transfers (from) or to Separate Accounts net of reinsurance.” The variable Separate Accounts are non-guaranteed Separate Accounts, wherein the policyholder assumes substantially all the investment risks and rewards. MVA Separate Accounts are guaranteed separate accounts, wherein the Company contractually guarantees either a minimum return or account value to the policyholder. In accordance with the guarantees provided, if the investment proceeds are insufficient to cover the rate of return guaranteed for the product, the policyholder proceeds will be remitted by the General Account.

To compensate the General Account for the risk associated with separate account guarantees, risk charges of $175,175, $190,217, and $182,305 were received by the General Account from the Separate Accounts during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, the Company’s General Account paid $97,917, $92,975, and $85,397 for Separate Account guarantees, respectively.

The Company does not engage in securities lending transactions within its Separate Accounts.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and therefore, represents an exit price. Fair value estimates are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flow. Although fair value estimates are calculated using assumptions that management believes are appropriate, changes in assumptions could cause these estimates to vary materially. In that regard, certain Level 3 derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in some cases, could not be realized in the immediate settlement of the instruments. Certain financial liabilities (including non-investment type insurance contracts) and all nonfinancial instruments are excluded from the disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value to the Company.

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities have been classified, for disclosure purposes, based on a hierarchy defined by SSAP No. 100, Fair Value (“SSAP No. 100”). The hierarchy gives the highest ranking to fair values determined using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest ranking to fair values determined using methodologies and models with unobservable inputs (Level 3). An asset’s or a liability’s classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to its measurement. For example, a Level 3 fair value measurement may include inputs that are both observable (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable (Level 3). The levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1: Fair value is based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets accessible at the measurement date.

Level 2: Fair value is based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices from those willing to trade in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by market data for the term of the instrument. Such inputs include market interest rates and volatilities, spreads, and yield curves.

Level 3: Fair value is based on valuations derived from techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable (supported by little or no market activity). Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s best estimate of what hypothetical market participants would use to determine a transaction price for the asset or liability at the reporting date.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, a financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the financial instrument. From time to time, there may be movements between levels as inputs become more or less observable, which may depend on several factors including the activity of the market for the specific security, the activity of the market for similar securities, the level of risk spreads and the source of the information from which we obtain the information. Transfers in or out of any level are measured as of the beginning of the period. Pursuant to SSAP No. 100, the Company is permitted to utilize net asset value (“NAV”) as a practical expedient to fair value for certain investments that qualify for such treatment. Investments reported at NAV are separately identified in the table below.

(a)

Separate account invested assets are typically carried at fair value. In instances where market risk is guaranteed by the Company, bonds and preferred stocks are carried at amortized cost based on their respective NAIC designation. Separate account assets also exclude $825,704 of non-invested assets not subject to fair value disclosures and $1,133,305 of separate account assets carried at the general account basis at December 31, 2025 and $1,235,380 of investment income and receivables due at 2024, respectively.

(b)

Includes assets with a fair value of $142,182 and $125,578 at December 31, 2025 and 2024 respectively, in hedge funds, private equities, and other alternative investments for which fair value is measured at NAV using the practical expedient. These investments are not quoted on a securities exchange or the OTC market. As of December 31, 2025 or 2024, there were no unfunded commitments. The investments have liquidity restrictions consisting of notice periods (typically 60 days), redemption schedules (typically quarterly) and hold backs (typically 3% of the investment is held back until the next annual audit is completed). The redemption period may be extended if there is a delay in liquidating underlying holdings within an investment. The investments are within the policyholders separate accounts so any fluctuation in NAV will result in a corresponding change in the policyholder reserve liability and therefore will have no impact on income.

None of the Company’s assets measured at fair value transferred between Levels 1 and 2 during the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

(a)

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were $121,065 and $112,504 of unfunded commitments for limited partnership investments, respectively. The investments have liquidity restrictions consisting of either general partner approval or no ability for early redemption.

(b)

The common stock line in the tables above exclude equity method investments with carrying values of $35,840 and $32,571 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The other invested assets line in the tables above exclude equity method investments with carrying values of $699,846 and $766,835 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The methods and assumptions that the Company uses in determining the estimated fair value of its financial instruments are summarized below:

Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments - The carrying value for cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments approximates fair value due to the short-term nature and liquidity of the balances.

Bonds - The Company determines the fair value of its bonds classified as ICO and ABS using three primary pricing methods: third-party pricing services, non-binding broker quotes, and pricing models. Prices are first sought from third-party pricing services, with the remaining unpriced securities priced using one of the other two methods. Third-party pricing services derive the security prices through recently reported trades for identical or similar securities with adjustments for trading volumes and market observable information through the reporting date. In the event that there are no recent market trades, pricing services and brokers may use pricing models to develop a security price based on future expected cash flows discounted at an estimated market rate using collateral performance and vintages. The Company generally does not adjust quotes or prices obtained from brokers or pricing services.

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025, 2024 AND 2023

(IN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE DATA)

For ABS, typical inputs include, but are not limited to, reported trades, benchmark yields, issuer spreads, bids and/or estimated cash flows and prepayment speeds. In addition, estimates of expected future prepayments are factors in determining the price of ABS. These estimates are based on the underlying collateral and structure of the security, as well as prepayment speeds previously experienced in the market at interest rate levels projected for the underlying collateral. Actual prepayment experience may vary from these estimates.

For privately-placed fixed maturity securities, fair values are estimated using model prices or broker quotes. A portion of privately-placed fixed maturity securities (typically SEC Rule 144A securities) are priced using market prices. Also, a small subset of privately-placed fixed maturity securities are priced using matrix applications which take into account credit spreads for a variety of public and private securities of similar credit risk, maturity, prepayment, and liquidity characteristics.

The Company’s ability to liquidate positions in privately-placed fixed securities and mortgages could be impacted to a significant degree by the lack of an actively-traded market. Although the Company believes that its estimates reasonably reflect the fair value of those instruments, its key assumptions about risk-free interest rates, risk premiums, performance of underlying collateral (if any), and other factors may not reflect those of an active market.

The Company takes into consideration both qualitative and quantitative factors as part of its analysis, including but not limited to, an overall analysis of portfolio fair value movement against general movements in interest rates and spreads. The Company also compares price movement trends, considering the reasons for both significant price movements between periods and a lack of movement where the Company has become aware of securities that experienced a positive or negative credit or other event that would suggest the price provided has not captured market activity.

Preferred stocks - The fair values of preferred stocks are determined using prices provided by third party pricing services or broker quotes. The fair value cannot exceed the stated call price. For privately placed preferred stocks without readily ascertainable fair value, such values are determined utilizing a discounted cash flow methodology based on coupon rates, maturity provisions and credit assumptions.

Common stocks - The fair value of unaffiliated common stocks is based on quoted market prices, where available. The Company records its investments in mutual funds at fair value, which equates to the NAV of the fund. The Company records its investments in common stock of affiliates under the equity method using audited equity. For the Company’s common stock investments measured at NAV, the Company does not anticipate selling these investments for amounts different than NAV and there are no significant restrictions in the liquidation of these investments.

Mortgage loans - The fair value of mortgage loans is estimated by discounting future cash flows using current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.

Real estate - The fair value of real estate is determined by the purchase price of the investment, including capitalized expenditures, which was supported by an appraisal near the purchase date. Appraisals are used on an ongoing basis to approximate future fair values.

Derivatives - The fair values of swaps, swaptions, and forwards are based on current settlement values, dealer quotes, and market prices. Fair values of options and futures are also based on dealer quotes and market prices.

Contract loans - The fair value of policy loans is determined by estimating future policy loan cash flows and discounting the cash flows at a current market interest rate.

Other invested assets - The fair values of other invested assets which consist of debt securities that do not qualify as bonds, limited partnerships, limited liability companies, reverse mortgages, collateral loans, and surplus and capital notes are determined as follows:

Debt securities that do not qualify as bonds - The fair values of debt securities that do not qualify as bonds are obtained from third-party pricing services or modeled prices.

Collateral loans - The fair value of collateral loans is determined using interest and principal at a yield of interpolated swaps plus a spread. Due to call features present in these securities, the fair value of collateral loans typically approximates carrying value.

Other fixed or variable rate investments - The fair value of fixed or variable rate investments, which includes investments in subsidiaries, certain investments in limited partnerships and limited liability companies, and non-rated residual tranches on ABS, that are accounted for under the equity method was $708,446 and $766,835 at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. In addition to those investments accounted for under the equity method, the Company also holds investments in non-rated residual tranches on ABS that are priced by third-party pricing services. The total fair value of such investments was $46,805 and $142,447 at December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Reverse mortgages - The fair value of reverse mortgages are obtained from third-party pricing services using interest and principal balances.

Surplus and capital notes - The fair value of surplus and capital notes are obtained from independent pricing services or pricing models that discount cash flows at a yield of interpolated swaps plus a spread.

Separate Accounts - The estimated fair value of Separate Account assets and liabilities is determined using the same methodology described in Note 14. The difference between Separate Account assets and liabilities reflected in the chart above and the total recognized in the Statutory Statements of Admitted Assets, Liabilities and Capital and Surplus represents amounts that are attributable to non-financial instruments.

Borrowed money - The fair value is approximated by the unpaid principal balance of debt outstanding.

Liabilities for deposit-type contracts - The fair values of the Company’s General Account liabilities under investment-type contracts (insurance and annuity contracts that do not involve mortality or morbidity risks) is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or surrender values.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $4,654 of net operating loss carry forwards, which will expire, if not utilized, in 2041.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $222,332 of capital loss carry forwards, which will expire, if not utilized, as follows:

The Company had no income taxes incurred in the current and prior years that will be available for recoupment in the event of future net losses.

The Company has no deposits admitted under Section 6603 of the Internal Revenue Code.

The application of SSAP No. 101 requires a company to evaluate the recoverability of DTAs and, if necessary, to establish a valuation allowance to reduce the DTA to an amount which is more likely than not to be realized. Considerable judgment is required in determining whether a valuation allowance is necessary and, if so, the amount of such valuation allowance. Although the realization is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that DTAs will be realized. Therefore, the Company did not record a valuation allowance as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Tax years prior to 2019 are closed for audit or examination under the applicable statute of limitations. The Company is not currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company does not believe it has any uncertain tax positions for its federal income tax return that would be material to its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. Therefore, the Company did not record a liability for unrecognized tax positions (“UTPs”) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

The Company is subject to certain statutory and regulatory restrictions imposed by the State of Delaware on insurance companies which limits the amount of cash dividends that may be paid to the stockholders. Under Delaware law, cash dividends may be paid only from earned surplus. Additionally, the maximum aggregate amount of ordinary dividends that the Company may declare or pay during any twelve-month period is the greater of: (1) 10% of its statutory surplus, or (2) net gains from operations before net realized capital gains (losses) provided that unassigned surplus is positive and sufficient to cover the payment, each as reported in the prior year’s Annual Statement, unless written approval is obtained from the Department granting a greater amount (i.e., an extraordinary dividend). In addition, no dividend may be paid in excess of unassigned funds. At December 31, 2025, the Company reported surplus as regards policyholders of $3,832,044, gain from operations before net realized capital losses of $304,769, and unassigned funds of $1,035,937. As of December 31, 2025, the Company may declare an ordinary dividend to shareholders without prior approval from the Department in the maximum amount of $383,204.

On December 4, 2025, the Delaware Department approved the Company’s request to record a capital contribution receivable from DLSH in accordance with SSAP No. 72, Surplus and Quasi-Reorganizations (“SSAP No. 72”).

As disclosed in Note 21, the contribution was subsequently received in cash on February 26, 2026. In August 2025, the Company received a capital contribution of $400,000 from DLSH.

The proceeds from the issuance of the surplus notes were not used to purchase an asset directly or indirectly from the Noteholders. The surplus notes were not issued as part of a transaction whereby the principal or interest payments are contractually linked to other assets or agreements. There were no surplus note interest or principal payments subject to administrative offsetting provisions.

The surplus notes and accrued interest thereon are subordinate to payments due to policyholders, claimants, and beneficiaries, as well as all other classes of creditors other than the Noteholders. After payment in full of certain obligations set forth in Section 5918 of the Delaware Insurance Code, and prior to any payment to a common shareholder in respect of such shareholder’s ownership interest in the Company, the holder of a surplus note is entitled to receive payment in full. The Company has no preferred stockholders. Any redemption of a surplus note is subject to the prior written consent of the Department.

The Company incurred $30,237, $30,237, and $30,236 of interest on the surplus notes for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Each accrual and payment of interest on the surplus notes may be made only with the prior approval of the Delaware Insurance Commissioner and only to the extent the Company has sufficient surplus earnings to make such payment. The Company received approval for all surplus note interest and principal payments and the related interest accrual in the amount of $2,668 and $2,669 at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Risk-Based Capital

Life and health insurance companies are subject to certain RBC requirements as specified by the NAIC. The RBC requirements provide a method for measuring the minimum acceptable amount of adjusted capital that a life insurer should have, as determined under statutory accounting principles, taking into account the risk characteristics of its investments and products. The Company exceeded the minimum RBC requirements at December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

Contingent Commitments

The Company had unfunded commitments for limited partnership investments of $121,065 and $112,504 as of December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively. The Company had contingent commitments for tax credit structures of $132,334 and $0 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Guaranty Fund Assessments

Under insurance guaranty fund laws in each state, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, insurers licensed to do business can be assessed by state insurance guaranty associations for certain obligations of insolvent insurance companies to policyholders and claimants. Most of these laws provide, however, that an assessment may be excused or deferred if it would threaten an insurer’s solvency and further provide annual limits on such assessments. Part of the assessments paid by the Company pursuant to these laws may be used as credits for a portion of the associated premium taxes.

Various insolvencies reported by the National Organization of Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Associations will result in retrospective, premium-based guaranty fund assessments against the Company. Based on the best information available, the Company has recorded an accrued liability of $869 and $1,569 for guaranty fund assessments as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company does not know the period over which the guaranty fund assessments may be paid.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not have any guaranty fund liabilities or assets related to assessments from insolvencies of entities that wrote long-term care contracts.

The Company has not established any asset for premium tax credits or policy surcharges as their recoveries are not estimable.

Litigation and Other Matters

The Company is involved in various lawsuits in the normal course of business. The status of these legal actions is actively monitored by management. If management believed, based on available information, that an adverse outcome upon resolution of a given legal action was probable and the amount of that adverse outcome was reasonably estimable, a loss would be recognized and a related liability recorded. The Company is not aware of any contingent liabilities arising from litigation or other matters that could have a material effect upon the financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.
